Why Choose Pythian?

First, companies choose us for our Oracle, Oracle Apps, MySQL and SQL Server expertise.

But they also want our dynamic-scope contracting model. It’s customer-friendly and easily understood: a simple markup model on our costs of service delivery. This means that as we automate, streamline, tune and improve processes, the customer taps into those efficiencies. Simply put, savings are passed onto the customer.

If you’re a smaller shop and only need one or fewer full-time DBAs, our model is cost competitive because only the effort required to run the shop needs to be provisioned. Our processes, delivery model and expertise all couple to outpace our markup quite handily.

Often, it is not an insourced vs. outsourced decision. In many larger shops, Pythian is engaged alongside the in-house team to dramatically increase the team’s capabilities, technical experience and availability at all hours.
